My Art pipe's Update, plz get in !

Hi fellas how ya doin . .
first of all i wud like to apologize for comin late, i do understand some of ya were waitin for my update on https://g35driver.com/forums/v36-eng...ella-here.html and again i do apologize for that.

brief of my problem:
i got new Art pipes and i installed em in a shop which apparently used to sell vegetables rather than doing a Mech work. And so they've ruined my O2 sensor, the one that is fixed in a passenger side's headers( O2 bang1 )

Anyways, problem is solved now

I handed it over to my local infiniti service center to replace the damn sensor with a new one along with doin a major service which was due by the time i reached there. So I collected my car just yesterday n i was extremely happy when i turned it on and saw the CEL has gone off and everything went back to normal

i went to the cashier and paid the 1300$ with tears on ma face, charging for the major service (including Brake pads replacement, both front and rear side). Along with the O2 sensor replacement.

and here i would like to thank all the members who were so supportive with me during this matter . .

Thank you very much again

nice to hear everything worked out, i got my pipes and am waiting to have a reputable shop fit me in this week for the install! btw thanks for your review, it really helped me make my decision.

Also this new "titanium ceramic coating" is really nice, i think i like it better than polished.

You're most welcome
congrats on yours, u won't be disappointed

but i wud like to point out at somethin . . these pipes don't differ than HFCs Or regular TPs on installation work, they are all the same . So don't think these are hard to install. My problem was only because of the vegetable shop who did the installation. So u jst make sure to hand it over to a trusted shop, thats all.

I also installed my new Stillen g3 CAI today, they were laying in my trunk for a couple weeks now, thought it's better to fix the O2 issue first.

they're great jst like i've read about em here.
I do recommend them for those with Art pipes, with this setup u'll get a nice gain in all power range.

Art pipes (Low end) + Stillen G3 (High end) =

^ did you 'update' your uprev tune? Ill be getting mine right after the install, so wondering how do they update the tune with the new mods. I have all my bolt ons done now so i should be good. My tuner(one of the best in the area) is asking for $650 with osiris software+dyno tune which i think is a fair price.

You should have made the shop pay for damaging your o2 sensor!

Glad to see your G is happy again! We all have similar setups performance wise.... too bad the UpRev tune is the end of the line. Maybe someday GTM will finish the GT-R intake manifold conversion... I think we could still squeeze a few more ponies out of the HR.
